These services are free, confidential, and available around the clock. Reaching out doesn't mean something is wrong with you; it means you're taking care of yourself in the moment you need it most.

I've come to believe there's a place past all our ideas of right and wrong, a place where two people can just sit together without either one keeping score. That's the place I try to meet you in.
